Benefits of technology

This patent describes a way to make a special type of material that can be used to create small patterns. The material has very precise patterns and smooth edges. The patent also explains how to make a cylindrical pattern with a diameter of 1 to 50 nm. This material can be controlled to have a variety of different patterns, making it useful in a variety of applications.

Problems solved by technology

In the conventional optical lithography, a sub-22 nanometer pattern is theoretically and technically impossible due to the technical limitation in resolution originating from the wavelength of light.
Still, the major drawback of the lithography processes is that they require expensive equipment.
Also, the lithography processes using an electron beam and an X-ray beam require a long scanning time and have difficulty in forming a pattern of less than or equal to about 10 nanometers.

Control of Line Width According to Kind and Vapor Pressure of Solvent

[0143]A polydimethylsiloxane organic mono-molecular layer is formed by spin-coating a substrate where trenches having a depth of about 40 nm and an area of about 2 micrometers are formed with a polydimethylsiloxane brush solution, performing an annealing process in a vacuum oven at a temperature of about 130° C., and cleaning annealed substrate with toluene. A block copolymer thin film is formed by spin-coating the upper surface of the organic mono-molecular layer with a dispersion solution which is obtained by dispersing poly(2-vinylpyridine)-b-polydimethylsiloxane (PV2P-b-PDMS) having a number average molecular weight of about 26,000 g / mol) in toluene in a concentration of about 1 percent by weight (“wt %”). The solubility parameter difference of the block structural unit of a block copolymer PV2P-b-PDMS is 5.1 MPa1 / 2.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2011-0116111, filed on Nov. 8, 2011, and all the benefits accruing therefrom under 35 U.S.C. §119, the contents of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field[0003]This disclosure relates to a nano-structured block copolymer, and a method of manufacturing the same.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]A memory device or logic device fabrication technology involves high-precision circuitry, and patterning technology is the core part of the integrated circuit and the resultant devices. Currently, optical lithography uses for a semiconductor device fabrication process due to simple process and freedom of pattern tunability. Not surprisingly, it has taken a core part of the patterning process for the past 50 years. However, as we enter an ultra high-level information society utilizing mobile computing devices in...
